The first one was formed in June 1945, controlling the occupation forces in Czechoslovakia, Austria and Hungary (see Appendix 4). It was disbanded in 1955 when the forces in Austria and Hungary were withdrawn from those countries. The second formation occurred as a result of the Warsaw Pact invasion Czechoslovakia in August 1968. As a result of a directive issued on 16 October 1968, on 24 October 1968 the Headquarters of the Central Group of Forces was re-established, this time for forces solely on Czech territory. These forces would remain “temporarily” until, as a result of the agreement signed between Czechoslovakia and the USSR, all Soviet forces are to be withdrawn by July 1991.

    WARNING! The views expressed in FMSO publications and reports are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official policy or position of the Department of the Army, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. COUNTERPOINT TO STALINGRAD, Operation Mars (November-December 1942): Marshal Zhukov's Greatest Defeat by COL David M. Glantz Foreign Military Studies Office, Fort Leavenworth, KS. Introduction After enduring months of bitter and costly defensive combat at Stalingrad, on 19 November 1942, Red Army forces struck a massive blow against the hitherto triumphant German Army. To the Germans' utter consternation, within one week Soviet forces encircled German Sixth Army in the deadly Stalingrad cauldron. Ten weeks later, the army's tattered remnants surrendered, ending the most famous battle of the German- Soviet War. History states the titanic Battle of Stalingrad altered the course of war on the German Eastern Front and set the Wehrmacht and German Reich on its path toward utter and humiliating defeat. History accorded enduring fame to the victors of Stalingrad. The victorious Red Army seemingly never again suffered strategic or significant operational defeat.1 The architects of the Stalingrad victory entered the annals of military history as unvanquished heroes who led the subsequent Soviet march to victory. Foremost among them was Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgi Konstantinovich Zhukov, the hero of Moscow, Stalingrad, Kursk, and Berlin. History, however, has misinformed U.S.. The muses of history are fickle. They record only what was reported and ignore what was not. The adage, "To the victors belong the spoils," applies to history as well as war.
